Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 31 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 specifically provides that a writ of habeas corpus shall not be entertained if petitioner has not applied for and been denied relief by the sentencing court unless it appears that the § 2255 remedy is inadequate to test the legality of the confinement. In the present action, defendant has made no allegation with respect to the unavailability or inadequacy of a § 2255 relief at the time he filed his present petition. There is no showing that defendant has raised by a § 2255 proceeding in the sentencing court the issues he here raises. Absent such showing, the court was without jurisdiction to entertain the petition. United States v. Hayman, 342 U.S. 205 , 72 S.Ct. 263 , 96 L.Ed. 232 ; Burdette v. Settle, 8 Cir., 296 F.2d 687 ; Simmons v. United States, 8 Cir., 253 F.2d 909 .””
